If you don't, try to get hold of a tape recorder and record the conversation. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Re celery -- I had thought, mistakenly, that celery was bad for hypertension. My husband says he believes I was thinking of fennel, which should be avoided by those with hypertension. (My memory has become poor with Prednisone.) I'm very pleased for the information about celery. Thanks. Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Does anyone have Carten's address or E-Mail address. I have one of her surveys on Osteoperosis and would like to send in completed survey to her. However, there is no return address on the survey. Thank you for your help.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yes I'm also having sleep problems but have found with a little bit of exercise I get a good nights sleep. I know how hard it is to do this but last night I forced myself to go to the gym I managed 10 lengths (it's only a half size pool so not a great deal) and had a session detoxing in the steam room. I came home and slept a full 9 hours for the first time in ages the wildest dreams but at least I slept through them. Still tired today ( I also have CFS) but a lot of catching up to do. I plan to go again to night and start to build up. I also go swordfighting ,and am determined not to give it up as it does me good mentally to be out of the house among people, (I sometimes think that all the sitting around feeling ill can make it worse as there is nothing else to dwell on,) we do a good gentle stretch warm up and then occasionally I can do the session othertimes I can't but at least my muscles have a reason to hurt and I am properly tired, come home and sleep really well and it helps keep me sane Maybe take up yoga and see if that helps. If your bowel is inflamed try taking some slippery elm gruel to soothe it, it helps with my IBS. I also take the Hydroxygen+ with the threelac as it contains digestive enzymes and have found that I get less problems than if I take by itself Dawn > Hi Dawn, > > yes, as everyone has read I am having quite a hard time. I am not sleeping either which is really getting to me. My bowel I believe is keeping me up because it is so inflamed. I feel exhausted yet wired. My nervous system is in overdrive. Anyway, the worst part is I wish there was a doctor out there who could say, " oh yes I have seen this before " , because unlike die off symptoms I have had in the past, this is worse than anything I have ever experienced. If I keep experiencing lack of sleep, I will not continue taking it. That is where I draw the line, last night I got 3 hours. When I was on diflucan and feeling better on it, I slept great. Now the diflucan doesn't work anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if it's significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids you are after, stick with the flaxseed oil/yoghurt/ground falxeed combo. Or fish oil.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Marilyn, I have looked everywhere locally for Lobelia Inflata and I can't find it. I've asked about it and they look at me like I'm crazy because they have never heard of it. Where can I get some of this stuff, I want to try it but I need to get it first. Thanks! My best to you and Charlie!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Marilyn, I am sticking with flaxseed meal and fish oil since I feel very comfortable with these two and I don't have to force to eat yoghurt, cottage cheese, etc. because she hates it and right now, she's fighting back when she doesn't want something which she never did before. Being developmentally delayed, she would always go along with whatever she was told to do and I tried to teach her to fight back or to say no when she didn't want something and it's working, so now I'll have to teach her when it is and when it isn't appropriate to fight back.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Al, I'll give an example of RDA for vitamin A. The average individual that has in intake of RDA for all nutrients, would have a 3% chance of having an inadequate amount of any nutrient. This percentage also varies according to the nutrient. Some will be above the 3%, some below. If your intake of vitamin A matches the RDA, but is based on plant intake values, you will be absorbing less than the RDA. If your intake of vitamin A is from animal sources, then you will be absorbing the approximate RDA. Animal sources of vitamin A are considerably more efficiently used by the body than plant sources. An additional example...My diet is fairly healthy, and I try to do a consistent job in making sure that it stays that way. Along with my diet, I take one to two Centrum multivitamins a day. The RDA for an adult male is approximately 3000 IUs per day. I take in 7000 per day just from the Centrum. So, along with what my intake is food wise, I take in 3500 to 7000 IUs per day of vitamin A. My blood serum levels are always just about midrange. I can't remember the numbers specifically of the micrograms per decaliter and all of that, but without the supplementation, I would be low or deficient. The new AI, or Adequate Intake that was recently established and published, states that 900 ug/d is the magic number. I am not proposing that anyone supplement. I do because my regularly checked blood levels show it to be a positive for me. To answer your question, I all of my blood work is within normal ranges. I also use a whey protein supplement. I use water to mix it, not milk, so I avoid that much of casein protein intake. I also have to exceed the RDAs for calcuim and potassium or I run the risk of having some pretty extreme leg cramps during the search and recovery dives that I do. It all comes down to what works for you, independent of numbers established for 50% of the sedentary population.
